Vox: Speed issue between CPT and JHB

[CPTBoy]

I'm pretty happy with my 200/200 fibre line from Vox.

Something that's strange is that my speed between myself in CPT and JHB servers are slow ( less than half the speed ). I'm getting better performance going to London or Chicago for instance than between CPT and JHB.

Does anyone know why this happening?

It's almost like they don't have enough capacity between CPT and JHB?

its not a Vox issue i saw that as well on a different ISP speed pretty much halved my DL not the UL from JHB to CPT.

Vumatel issue then with their backhaul capacity between JHB and CPT?

Thanks, I'm awaiting response on my support ticket regarding this.

So after spending some time with their support team, it's "normal" that it's faster to London because there are less hops to London than JHB.

Eventually it came out that there is congestion in Bloemfontein. They are looking at it, but it didn't sound too promising for a solution anytime soon.

Problem is servers like NETFLIX resides in JHB and streaming more than 1 4K stream starts lagging due me to only hitting +- 45MBps to their server ( fast.com )
